Cells Flashcards
Name organelles in Animal cells?
Mitochondria Plasma membrane Cytoplasm RER Golgi apparatus Vesicle Ribosome Smooth ER Cytoskeleton Lysosomes
List organelles specific to plant cells?
Chloroplast
Tonoplast
Cell wall
Nucleus function
Contains the cells genetic material which regulates all the activities in the cell
Nucleolus function
Synthesis of ribosomal RNA
Assembly of ribosomal units
Mitochondria structure and function
Structure: Rod shaped or cylindrical organelles occurring in large numbers, especially in metabolically very active cells. Blinded by a double membrane; the inner layer is extensively folded to form partitions called Cristae
Function: site of aerobic respiration (the production of atp)
Function of Ribosomes
Synthesis of polypeptides
RER function
Site of protein synthesis and protein secretion
Function of SER
Synthesis of lipids, including oils, phospholipids, and steroids
Function of Golgi apparatus
Processing and transport of proteins, lipids
Function of centrioles
Used during cell reproduction
Produce spindle fibres
Function lysosomes
Intercellular digestion of macromolecules ( fats, protein, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids)
